Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around a participant seeking assistance with difficulties in physics and chemistry while preparing for Cambridge A-levels. The focus includes study strategies, specific problem-solving in physics, and requests for help with particular questions related to stress and strain in materials.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related
  • Technical explanation
  • Conceptual clarification
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • A participant expresses struggles with physics and chemistry and requests advice on efficient study strategies.
  • Another participant suggests reviewing the course syllabus to identify necessary topics and recommends using a glossary for better understanding.
  • Several participants emphasize the importance of specificity in questions to facilitate more effective responses.
  • Specific physics problems related to stress and strain are presented, with requests for detailed solutions and explanations.
  • A suggestion is made to move the question about physics problems to a dedicated homework help section.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the need for specificity in questions to provide better assistance. However, the discussion remains unresolved regarding the best strategies for studying and solving the presented physics problems.

Contextual Notes

Participants have not provided detailed assumptions or context for the physics problems, and there are unresolved mathematical steps in the questions posed.

Who May Find This Useful

Students preparing for Cambridge A-levels in physics and chemistry, particularly those seeking peer support and strategies for effective study and problem-solving.

I now having problems with subject physics and chemistry ! I'm from M'sia . I 'd need advice how do I spend my time on my studies so that I have efficient time for studies . Strategy studies advice too... I always get really low grades for these two subjects...Pls help me...
 
Physics news on Phys.org
i don't know ,,,someone else will reply though who knows .
wat i do know is that if u have any physics problems you can definitely come in here and ask .One thing for physics ,is that you should have a course syllabus , look at that and see what you need to learn , you could show it to one of us , if your not sure wat all the topics are about and how much depth you need to go into all of them , or anything else similar to that .Try and have a certain number of books and maybe a physics glossary from online.
 
Really need everyone in this thread help

Everyone in this thread , I need everyone's help . I'm struggling...
 
Perhaps you should be more specific in telling us what problems you have with the subjects. People find it easier to reply to specific questions than a broad one like yours.
 
Yep Be Specific..topics Ur Studying ..etc Whcih U Find Difficult ..wat U Dont Understand ?
 
Stress and Strain

Q: A copper wire of diameter d is stretched by a load hanging vertically from its lower end . The strain of the wire is 8.0x10^-4 . What's the strain in another copper wire of the same length but of diamteter 2d ?
A: 2x10^-4

Q: A light rod of length L hangs from the lower ends of two vertical wires M and N which are of the same natural length and diameter but ve differrent Young's moduli E1 and E2 respectively . A load is placed on the rod at a distance x from the wire M, so that the rod remains horizontal . What's the value of x in terms of L, E1 and E2 ?
A: (E2L)/ (E1+E2 )


Q - questions
A - answer

I would be glad anyone solve this as soon as possible . It would be great explain diagram , equations , steps by steps . Tnx . There ll be more questions.
 
I want the solution .
 
put this question in homework help section
